Here are two flash tunes that were recently completed by PAW Motorsport for a couple customers. The first car is a completely stock 2011 335 other than the flash tune. The car is a 6 speed manual and is running 93 octane pump fuel. The second car is a 2011 automatic 335 also dyno'd on pump gas. As you can see, large gains throughout the entire curve on both cars. Remember, this is just the mild pump tune. Contact PAW Motorsport if interested.

The rev limit increase would probably be useless for stock turbos though. Power is already falling down after 5,500RPM, torque is dropping after 4,000RPM and that turbo is doing the best it can to keep up. Plus, I'm not sure how well the bottom end and Valvetronic would hold up spinning to say, 7,800RPM, but I'm no expert either.

Rev limit will be increased at customer request. The stock B03 Borg Warner turbo choke & surge line still very well within the islands & a bit more boost on the Dyno it's no issue to get the 350wHP. Just have to wait till 2-3 month Summer final reliability feedback test at the tracks before we decide to release Mild Tune 1.5 & be a happy camper. Unlike just going for one time Dyno queens numbers & mass issues arising later on, we prefer good reliable tune for hardware.

When you say increased, you mean you will allow maybe 200RPM most, or more? (looks like almost 7200RPM on that run) Do you have a boost trace by any chance? What can you do to flatten out that torque curve near maximum safe engine speed? I thought maybe the turbo was getting near the choke line and torque started dropping as it heated up and/or manifold pressure dropped.

Not a real advantage or disadvantage answer. Higher rev limiter it's only advantageous if you can put the engine speed in the more usable powerband during an upshift without hitting the revlimiter @ 7000rpm. An example (not the best one), you hit the revlimiter everytime when you drive on the track, you would loose aprox. less than a second & it can sum up in sec. loss when you do a lap time. Owners can chose to do or not do the revlimiter on the 6psd. On Steptronic cars, there's no point at the moment in changing rev. limiter.

Rev. limiter will benefit more for added performance hardware changes such as cylinder head work, cams, turbine upgrade, etc. But at the moment, user will just use it for avoiding contact @ 7000rpm.

You got it =) The BW turbo it's way within the efficiency islands & will do more, but that is what the manf. has set it at to produce 300hp at crank.
Now, the increased pressure ratio will provide an amount of lbs/min (kg/h) thus more torque power safely it's what we are interested on & easy. But, other factors such as heat, detonation, wear, etc. will come into play. The time that it's required for the R&D and if we were to release it too soon it should not be a final product with good outcome. Not just a Dyno give an end result w/o real world test.

Also, to flatten the torque from +4000-7000rpm which will translate into Hp gains. We will release into Mild Tune 1.5 in the next aprox. 2 month or more until satisfied. If a TUV standard for tuning in the USA was to be set, it will not take 1 day tune or dyno to be the best engine hardware reliable tune IMO.
